My Favorite Christmas Vignettes

Christmas is just one week away! Although I’ve been busy decorating and shopping, I never forget the true meaning of Christmas and the celebration of Christ’s birth … God’s greatest gift to the world! I like to think the creative expression of decorating is a reflection of God’s creative nature. After all, if we’re made in God’s image and God is creative, it follows that each one of us is creative in some way, shape or form. In celebration of that creativity, I’m sharing some of my favorite Christmas vignettes with you .

This ironstone bowl filled with vintage Christmas ornaments is one of my favorite photos from this year’s Christmas home tour. I’ve been collecting these ornaments for years. My flocked Christmas tree is in the background with the lights twinkling brightly.

My favorite Christmas find this year was a strand of mercury glass ornaments.

I’m not going to want to put these back in a box once Christmas is over.

Also in the kitchen, a simple glass bead garland festoons the open shelving with ironstone pitchers and just a bit of greenery. A few vintage ornaments and a mini Christmas tree tucked in a bowl complete the Christmas vignette.

More vintage ornaments! Here I paired green, blue, and silver ornaments in a wooden bowl.

Coincidentally, this vintage black mirror was found at a Christmas market last year. I hung a little boxwood wreath on it with peppermint stripe ribbon. The mirror reflects the mason jar candles lining the steps in my old farmhouse.

Jennifer – I love your flipboard mag, but you included one of my images that was posted on G+ by someone else (as their own work). It is the red and white Christmas porch. I would appreciate it if you could change the source to me. Thanks!

Happy Holidays, Jennifer: I love your blog, ideas, etc. But the Christmas is Coming is above and beyond. I will be back to read it again as soon as Christmas is over and there is more time. Did you hear me oooing and aaahing with every page?!?. Amazing! Thank you for sharing! {{HUGS}} Joy Schumann at theoldefarmhouse.blogspot.com

Your vignettes are just beautiful, Jennifer! I had forgotten that I had some vintage pink ornaments in the attic that I had in my booth last year that didn’t sell. I meant to use them this year, but at this point I will just pass on them until next year. I think just even using them in a wood tote or tureen would be a nice simple touch.
